Python OpenSCAD Script
For my Numerical Methods Q4 project, I made a code that made a code that makes an object. In better terms, I created a code in Python which made a code in OpenSCAD which made an object for me to 3D print. I started making a code to make simple blocks and then added a sin function to make it wavy. I experimented a lot with the sin, cos, and tan functions to make the end object look different. For my specific project I made an object using a sin function.
import math
for i in range (50):
h=9*math.sin(0.5*i)+10
b=i*10
print("translate([%d,0,0])"%(b))
print("cube([10,10,%d]);"%(h))Numerical Methods & Values Project: Fortune Teller
For my project, I made a fortune teller that will give you a two sentence fortune composed of six randomly selected sentence fragments. I made it in Python and then translated it to Javascript to put it onto a website. It’s not finished yet, but it’s up and working. Try it out! https://soriki.com/eve/fortune
Baby Blocks
A few months ago I did a project for Makerspace Business where I made baby blocks for a TFS grandparent for their grandchild. I got the baby’s information from the grandma and then printed it out on vinyl to stick onto four blocks of wood. I had a lot of fun with it, so when my baby cousin was born earlier this month, I knew I wanted to make another set with my little cousin’s info on them. So far I have cut out the wooden blocks, made the design for them. Right now, I’m just waiting to print them.

Makerspace Business Club Website Progress
This year, I have been working on a website for the Makerspace Business Club to advertise and sell their products. After constant revamping, I have finally decided on a format to use and now am working on getting all the information listed. As of 4/25, I have the contact information listed and have a page for the glasses, ornaments, and coasters for sale.
Model Room: Macbeth
We just finished reading the play, Macbeth. I was going to make a model of the castle where Macbeth was from but there was a design mistake and didn’t fit together after the laser cut it out. We didn’t have enough time to go back, change the design and re-cut it all again. We ended up making a simple model of the room he was killed in.
3D Chess Board
My first ever makerspace project was when I was in seventh grade. My teacher and a lot of high schoolers were making coolly designed chess boards and chess pieces at the time so I wanted to give it a try. I designed my own chess pieces using openscad so I could 3D print them. I made the board out the 2*2s and stained them different colors.
Ceramic Tile Shelves
I am in geometry class and we had to do a project by the end of the quarter that had to involve with we were learning. We were learning about graphing different types of functions at the time. One of the Spanish teachers at our school needed some type of shelving system to hang ceramic tiles that her students were painting on the walls. I was trying to think about ways I could make a shelf using a sine curve. My teacher and I decided to laser cut a sine curve and mount it on the wall so the tiles could slide in and out of it. First I had to make a spreadsheet to get the coordinates of the function and then turn it into a line using a program which I then took the line and laser cut it out. When I cut it out I didn’t like the design so I tried all kinds of different ways making it look nicer. I came up with the idea of having two sine curves flipped on top of each other.
3D Periodic Table
We were learning about the different characteristics of the periodic table in chemistry class. We had a project where we had to make a 3D periodic table of a characteristic of our choice and we could make it however we wanted. I choose ionization energy and wanted to make it using 2*2 and make them different highest depending on how high of ionization energy the element has.
LED Light Show
I wanted to learn how to program using the raspberry pi and learn how to solder using our new electronics bay. I started off with multiple different ideas but ended up making a LED light display. I took apart Christmas lights to get the LED lights and then soldered them together. I then made the frame using the laser cutter by making two circles for the top and bottom and a special cutting design to make the rounded exterior. After I finished soldering and lasering I started programming. There were some problems with finding the right type of program that would work so we tried multiple different ideas but none of them seemed to work.
